What should I do on vCenter vSphere Web Client after you change the host root password?

Hello

When we implemented vCenter our Organization, we used a regular password to the account 'root' on each ESXi host.

So, I installed vCenter and added the hosts on it to manage.

When I added them, they've asked for the root password power connect.

Ok. Everything was fine.

Now, we want to change the password to root for each ESXi host.

My question is: what should I do to make sure that vCenter will always be able to connect to the ESXi hosts, because the account used to connect the first time change his password?

My question is: what should I do to make sure that vCenter will always be able to connect to the ESXi hosts, because the account used to connect the first time change his password?

Nothing, after the host is added to vCenter, a user named vpxuser is created automatically on the ESXi host and vCenter uses this user to connect and manage the host.

  • VSphere Web Client cannot connect to the server vCenter Single Sign On.

    I'm running the virtual appliance of the trial 5.5.0.20400 build 2442330 on ESXi 5.5.0, 2068190

    While I try to log on to the Web Client, I get this error.  VSphere Web Client cannot connect to the server vCenter Single Sign On.

    I put fallow the steps to disable SSO by changing the webclient.properties line add file and ad sso.enabled = false .    Then on the vCenter Server Appliance, restart the vSphere client service by typing service vsphere-client restart .

    I enclose the reference files.

    All ideas will be useful


    This answer was simple, all I had to do was remove the # in front of the statement in the file.   and SSO has been disabled after the restart of the service.

  • Cannot save vSphere Web Client after the replacement of the SSL certificate

    Hi all

    I have followed the Articles of Derek Seaman on the replacement of all the certificates in vSphere 5.1 and have since turned to the VMware KB Articles. I replaced the certificates for the SSO, the inventory Service and vCenter Server with no problems (other than having to use OpenSSL-Win64 for vCenter certificate that I could not get the x 86 version certificate of work, makes no sense, but I'll take the small victory).

    If you follow the guide of vmware to replace the web service certificate, http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2035010, I get to step 12, enter the VMware vSphere Client Web back to vCenter Single Sign On and the following error:

    VMware technical support suggested I uninstall all components, delete all databases and try again. I have done this and have exactly the same result.

    Has anyone seen elsewhere or managed to solve?

    Chris

    So, I managed to solve this problem. Not sure that this applies to everyone, but my problem was caused by registering using among other names of the subject in the SSL certificate for the SSO rather than the common name of the certificate.

    For example, the server name is server1.company.com. It is the common name of the certificate. But one of SAN of the certificate has been "vSphere.company.com".  If I used this other name in one of the component records that they would fail. I found that I have to use the common name. Even if the alternative names of job access to via your browser web, there is no certificate warning, if the registration of components using these names, it would fail.

    It seems crazy that you can use any of the San... then why allow us to make?

    Initially, I tried to replace the authentication certificate ONLY when the town was called vsphere.company.com, rather than the hostname of the server, and which is installed. However, try to install the Web Client would fail. When you come to the step where you have to accept the certificate of SSO, the installation fails because the common name of the certificate does not have the host name of the SSO server. It seems insane to me... why the host name of the server running the SSO should still come in when all calls are over HTTPS is simply absurd!

    I confirmed this with VMware Technical Support and they checked my conclusions.

  • vCenter - vSphere Web Client problem

    Hello

    We have some problems with our Web Client vSphere. The vCenter 5.1 is installed on a Windows Server 2012, and you can connect to the Web Client.

    When you log on as "Administrator" (the Windows account) everything works fine, but when you use the admin@System-Domain account you can connect, but there is no display resources:

    No ESXi hosts, no VMs, no data warehouses, nothing.

    CU

    Well you would login to VC using the account administrator (via the web client), click on the Victoria Cross and select the permissions tab, and then add the admin@system-domain and assign the required permissions.

  • vSphere cannot connect after time on the host change

    I am a relative noob when it comes to virtualization.  I did a lot of research for the response, but can't find it.  Maybe you guys can help.

    Connected to the host (VMWare vSphere for ESXi 4.0) management console, I changed the time on the host because he was distant.  After that, the vSphere console has become very slow, and when I clicked on another tab it has expired.

    I closed vSphere and tried to reconnect and now I have a message that says:

    vSphere could not connect with the server vCenter Server "[host IP address] '.

    Details: A connection failure has occurred (unable to connect to the remote server)

    I went directly to the physical console machine and press F2 to enter the system setup.  I restarted the management agent.  I can ping the IP address.  I can not connect via puTTy, but I do not think that I never activated the SSH access.

    Has anyone ever encountered this?  What should I do?  I can't restart the host right now because the production servers are running on the VMWare.  If I have to restart later, what is the correct procedure for this? (close the BONES of the VM, and then restart the host?)

    I had this happen before. I was unable to restart the services or navigate from the console. I waited until hours off-peak and connected directly in the less critical guest OS and stop them. I had to stop several before I could get access again vcenter. Once I had access i vMotioned the rest of the guests to other hosts and restarted the ESXi host. It's a risk, because if you cannot close machines you have to powercycle. You seem to have access, so you can be able to stop them from the CLI on the host.

  • Vsphere web client cannot connect to the authentication unique vcenter server, how to solve this problem.

    After the upgrade to 5.1, I've been running into this error a lot.  For some reason, the SSO service appears to stop working after about a week and requires a restart to get it online.  Anyone know a way to keep this service and requires no weekly restart my server vcenter which SSO, inventory and vcenter installed on it?  Is there a service that I can restart or something like that?

    In my case, the VCVA began on a new host, and time has not been properly synchronized.  Set time, no more error.

  • vSphere Web Client shows 0 vCenter server

    Hi all.  As a newbie, I am currently playing with vCenter 5.1.  I just vcenter Server 5.1 with all required components (SSO, Web Client Server, etc.) installed on a test server.  After installation, I am able to connect to SSO via vSphere Web Client using the admin@system-domain account.  I am able to create SSO users and assign permissions user SSO.  However, vCenter server list is empty, there is no vCenter server on this list, which should not be; See the attached screen shot.  This is why I'm not able to test other features of vCenter.  Is any one having the same number as I am?  It is a clean installation, running on a Windows 2008 R2 operating system.  Thank you.

    Salvation was,

    Go to your SSO Configuration and click your ad you have configured under the identity source.  To do like default domain by clicking on the symbol that looks like this

    Once that is done, try to connect with your AD administrator and see if the inventory is the filler.

    If it isn't yet, connect to vCenter using the vSphere client and click your object of vCenter, go to the permissions tab and add the authorization with your AD username and the role of the administrator. Now you should be able to connect with the AD user on the web client and the vCenter + inventory should appear.

    I would like to know if it works.

  • vRealize Orchestrator - cannot add to vSphere Web Client

    Hello

    I configured the device vRealize Orchestrator and added the vCenter Server to the server via the customer to vRO Orchestrator--> library and can successfully run workflows against objects in vCenter. Then vRO works.

    BUT

    The problem I have is that I can't seem to add the server vRO to vSphere Web Client. I do not see the plugin if and when I go to the Orchestrator plugin I see the vCenter Server in the "House of vCO' tab but"N/A"under"Managed by vCenter Orchestrator Server"." Under the "Lists" section it says "vCO servers: 0".» What Miss me?

    I tried to add the new server to vRO (device) by changing the vCenter object and enter the server IP new vRO. But "Test connection" fails every time.

    In addition, vCO has been installed with vCenter initially but never used and not yet used. But I don't think it would make a difference.

    I don't see the vCenter plugin tab in the left menu when connecting to vRO with the customer and com.vmware.vco isn't showing in /mob .

    Versions:

    vCenter: 5.5u2

    vRO: 6.0.3.0 build 3000579

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I'm a bit confused. It seems you are trying to use the two vCO 5.5.2 and vRO with VC 5.5.2 6.0.3, but plug-ins are different (they have different deployment mechanism, different extensions in MOB, etc.). I recommend you stick to the version of the vCO you got installed with VC - in this case, 5.5.2.

    Then, check the following:

    • Check that the vCO is configured with the SSO authentication, and it is the same instance used by VC/Web Client SSO
    • Check that this instance of vCenter is added as properly to vCO and there is an extension of 5.5.x - style into the CROWD. His name is com.vmware.orchestrator. [some-guid]
    • Check that the extension of the server property contains a record with URL property pointing to the server fine vCO - https:[vco-ip]:8281
    • Make sure that the user you are using to connect to the Web Client has a permission; for example. You should be able to connect to vCO Client Java with this user

    If the foregoing is valid, check the Web Client (vsphere_client_virgo.log) log file for any errors of loading of the vCO and connection at the vRO server plugin.

  • Store data customized for vSphere web client plugin

    Hello

    I'm working on vSphere Web Client plugin development. We need to store custom data on vCenter server that can be configured by the user only once.

    Plugin service will read the data and use it to connect to our server.

    Currently, we create an XML with encrypted data and store it in the folder/usr/local on vCenter.
    What are the best practices for storing these data?

    Thank you
    Vincent

    Small data files can be stored on the same device running the Web Client (VCSA for Linux) or vCenter for Windows

    In order to make your code compatible with the next vSphere 6.0 5.5 plugin you must use the following directories that will retain the write access:

    -/ Import/Storage on Linux

    -System.getenv ("PROGRAMDATA") under Windows.

    Create a subdirectory of the plugin and write your files.  See the code in the samples/global services/Global Services-service/src/main/java/com/vmware/samples/global services/GlobalServiceImpl.java

All I get is 'cannot display this page' or a close equivalent in IE, Firefox or Chrome. However, I am able to connect to the vCenter using the old client vSphere. And everyone in my office is able to connect to the vCenter uses the Web Client, so I'm the only person who can not. My workstation reboot didn't help. I've got VMware customer integration plugin 5.1.0 installed on my workstation. What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you!

    You are able to open the vCenter server's default web page?

    Please check if there are firewall rules or settings of proxy in place that prevent you to access the Web Client.

  • Virtual Storage Manager - can't change instant planning time interval with vSphere Web Client

    Hello

    I try to activate Virtual Storage Manager schedules-model for a data store using vSphere Web Client. Everything works fine, but I can't change the time interval of planning of the snapshot. He remains at 12:00 midnight to 12:00 midnight. I can't change it manually or by dragging the bar.

    I tried with IE9, IE11, newer Chrome browsers. And with Flash versions 15 and 13-. Same mistake.

    I've added the URL of Sites you trust with weaker security settings - no help.

    Y at - it a bug or something else I can try?

    I just talked to Dell support on my problem and this is apparently a known issue with local Europe\UK.  The similarity of our problems might be useful - workaround for me was to settle the Locale\Regional from my PC, where I'm doing it in the United States.  Not the time zone or other settings, to control panel, then "Region and language", then on the first tab, 'Format' box should be set to "English (United States).  Close browsers, start again and it worked for me.

    Might be worth a try if you're not already in US format. (mine was in the United Kingdom).
